From Drop Box
A quick note on behalf of Dave & Noel.
The compressor repairs are ongoing and hopefully, they will be resolved some time this week.
New hoses and gauges are been fitted, once complete, the compressor will be re activated for use.
Members are advised to contact John prior to showing up to use the mobile compressor charge dive cylinders.
Regarding the boat: 
This is the long bit.
The impeller got an overhaul, thanks to Dave, Peter and Noel. With the lower case now replaced, next step is the engine service.
Currently, the guys have started gutting the keel. a lot of sanding had to be done to cleaned out, all the nicks and rips suffered 
through use of the boat over the years.
The boat has, through osmosis been ingesting water and it will evetually take it's toll on the fibreglass structure, so sanding, sanding, sanding becomes the task of a number of days. Followed by a layer upon layer of gel coat, sand, more gel coat.
We need to do it. to stop the Rot :-) Help required, please don't wait to be asked, just offer it...all hands on deck!! :-)
Already done also, has been the application of a number of hypalon patches to cover up some frayed tubing on the boat.
Finally, when this is all done we can move to sort the trailer out. The axels need to be changed and hopefully, those will finally 
be in some time later this week. 
Fingers crossed, we can have boat ready for easter.
Dave Ryan also has shortened the boat windshield. Great job, much better job.
As always John Hassett and Shelly have been a great support, feeding the masses, providing a haven and support for the repairs.
Anyway, what more can I say. Thanks guys, I hope the membership appreciate the free time and effort all the guys are 
giving to getting the boat ready and safe for the sea.
Roll on a great year of diving. :-)
